Sheridan's post was a month ago, and I had a similar problem.

Yesterday I saw a newsgroup note to delete the NETSCAPE.HST file. I
tried it and the whole system runs much better now.

Close Netscape, run DIR NETSCAPE.HST /S to find the file, then either
rename it (NETSCAPE.HST.OLD) or delete it. I had to restart Netscape
twice but after that it runs great.

My NETSCAPE.HST file was 10 MB in size. I looked in it before deleting
it and it appears to be some kind of unnecessary history file. It's
already back up to 164 KB.
